There's a fast food chicken chain in the same price point as Shake Shack that is famous for hiring cheerful, polite, skilled workers who consistently deliver high-quality food. This Shake Shack location is threatening to kick that chicken chain's reputation to the curb and claim the "Best Service, Best Food" title as its own. Staff are always kind. Not just cheerful or quick, but kind. It's like they all own it. My order is always correct. My food is always ready when I expect it to be. Facilities are always tidy. Eating out is so expensive and it's so hard to feel like your meal is worth the money these days. But Shake Shack... kind of genuinely hits for the price point? I can't stay away! read more

Love a good burger, good smash burgers here. I am growing to love the whole kisok ordering, which is what they have here. They even give out promotions, I got a free fry for spending 15.00 via the kiosk, which was easy to do as there burgers average about that price. Three burgers (doubles) with the free fry was 40.00 bucks. The smash burgers are very good, cooked perfect with great seasoning. The bun to burger ratio is off, the burgers are way bigger than the buns! I did get a bunless burger. The service was great the ladies behind the counter were working there butts off with a smile. The fires were delicious, crispy and seaosned, I love a good crinkle fry!! read more

I have to admit, I like a nice, juicy burger - one patty. But not a big fan of the 'smash' burger concept. The burger was good, shake is great. Nice for a change. Good ambiance little more modern. read more

Great place for the teen/ young adult crowd to enjoy burgers, fries, and milkshakes. A bit too loud and crowded for my liking. Our table was dirty. There were no napkins to be found. Finally, one of the employees brought some napkins over. It is fast food, but in a nicer setting. The outdoor seating on the patio, looked more inviting, was full. The crispy chicken burger did satisfy. My friend had the hamburger with bacon. I forgot the name of what it's called. He liked it. Food 3/5. Ambiance 3/5 Service 3/5. The cashier was apologetic for the long wait to give our order and later receive our food. read more

Super tasty - Got a double burger, fries, and a strawberry shake for $24.67 including tip. Wound up being too much food for me. Heavy on the moist/juicy scale for the burger; no dry burger here. Fries were crisp and non-greasy. Shake was thick. Order on the screen, take a number from the bin and enter that number with your order and take a seat. They will bring your food to you. I ordered "to-go" and got a sturdy take-out bag with a removable tray that made it easy to eat in my car. Better than Five Guys - burger taste better, fries were crispier. Went during lunch, still plenty of parking. Tables, floors, and the whole place seemed to shine - clean as a whistle! read more

Shake Shack The Boulevard - Take-out tray, keeps cars clean! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Went at about 12 on a Thursday it was very busy, the line was to the door. They have 4 self service kiosks but only 1 was working. It took about 15 minutes to get the food. All the tables were taken both inside and out so it was a waiting game until someone got up. I got a single Avocado Bacon Burger with fries and Cookies and Cream Shake. The burger itself was good, the patty is thin which is what I prefer and the bun was soft. The sauce was mainly to one side which was disappointing since it didn't cover the whole burger. The avocado and bacon was good, but also more concentrated in one area. The fries are nice and crispy and tasted great, we split them which was just enough. We also split the Shake which was absolutely amazing, it has to be the best Cookies and Cream Shake I've ever had. Each sip and cookie bits which were not too thick to ever get stuck in the straw. Overall, I would recommend Shake Shack the burger was good besides fromt the spread of the sauce. Since it was very busy and newly open I could see this improving hopefully. You get a good amount of fries and the shake is beyond amazing. read more

What else would we want to do on Memorial Day than stand in line for the newest burger spot in Buffalo? We heard that Shake Shack had opened last week and tried to get over sooner, but finally made it this week. As a fan of all things burgers, I am happy Buffalo is finally getting some more attention on the national front with some big names. I am a local burger spot guy but I want to try the chains when I can too. When we arrived, the line was long but not too bad. I would say it took about 25-30 minutes total to wait before we got our food. Pretty standard with a new spot opening and a line out the door. The interior of the restaurant is very modern and feels big and open to sit in while you eat or wait for your food. The menu is great and has a lot of options for burgers, chicken, and even vegetarian options. We opted to get the classics for the first visit. We had a shack burger, double shack burger, chicken sandwich, some fries, and fried pickles. Everything tasted great! The burgers were great with the shack sauce and the chicken sandwich might be one of my new favorites. The crinkle cut fries are always a hit for me and even the fried pickles were good. Just wish there were more fries and pickles in the order but all good. We will definitely be back once it slows down a little bit. We downloaded the app and have some perks to use up soon. read more

This was my boyfriend and I's first time to Shake Shack. The burger was delicious! We unfortunately didn't care for the cheese fries that much, could be personal preference because we thought the cheese had a weird/ different taste. The fries without the cheese would be delicious! We also got the black and white shake which the flavor was good, but it seems it was sitting there for a little bit! Maybe it is just because they are still pretty busy? Everyone was friendly, but our food did take a long time to come out, again probably because they are still new to the community. We would love to try it again!, but with regular fries! read more

This place is nasty. I spent $25 on a drink, chicken sandwich and small fries. The fries were old, the chicken was fine but not worth the price. My friend ordered the same but a burger. Her fries were old and her burger was so well done, it was dry. read more

The wait for a chocolate shake is crazy never again i am already at 30 min. Would not recommend

Went here on opening day, line was pretty long as expected and moves decently. As soon as you enter there's four kiosk, then there's 2 registers up front. Took us like 45 minutes total in line, to order, & get our food as some other people were also doing mobile orders. Our food came out hot and tasted good. They have burgers, sides, & drinks for a limited time only. Plenty of seating indoors & outdoors, but since it was raining it was packed inside. Customer service was amazing- staffs & managers kept the store clean & making sure everyone was well taken care of. Parking was just okay. read more

Do not recommend them at all.

Decent. Nothing special. The food was good. The sauce really just tasted like mayonnaise. Honestly, the Chicken Shack reminded me of a McDonald's Chicken Sandwich but with more lettuce and better quality chicken. The food took about 25 minutes. It's a decent place if you want somewhere to eat. read more

Waited over 30 minutes for our order that never made it to the grill. The dine in server never once asked us for our order or checked in until we asked. Disappointing service, I love shack shake but I'll never come back to this location. I'd rather wait for the one on Transit to open than set foot in this location again read more

I've tried this place a few times and I think I've punished myself enough for a lifetime! The good: onion rings! The bad and the ugly: chicken "sandwich" is the size of a chicken nugget, half of it was thin, dry, and hard=inedible. I even got a surprise as I was eating it, a nice long hair! GROSS!!! Love crinkle fries but these were dry, cold, and weird. Burgers will stay with you for the rest of the day but not in a good way. Plan on burping and indigestion. Shack sauce is gross. Go next door to Five Guys! read more

I am so happy that Shake Shack has finally come to the area. I've been waiting for them to open ever since it was announced. With it being new; expect a few hiccups and a long wait. I don't blame anyone because it's worth it! I love the burgers, fries and shakes! Do yourself a favor and download the app to order ahead. read more

The front of house here isn't just broken--it's a smoking crater where hospitality once lived and died a slow, agonizing death. Walking into this establishment, you're immediately struck by the profound indifference radiating from the staff like heat from asphalt in August. These aren't servers; they're ghosts haunting a space they clearly wish they'd never entered. Whether through willful negligence, breathtaking incompetence, or the kind of soul-crushing apathy that comes from management that couldn't care less about their craft, the result is the same: you, the paying customer, have become an inconvenience in what should be your temple. The manager--if such a creature exists--has apparently abdicated all responsibility for teaching these lost souls the basic sacraments of service. So allow me, in the spirit of public service, to offer some liturgy from the church of hospitality. The Gospel According to Good Service: Your eyes should sweep the room like a hawk hunting prey. Every guest, every table, every human being who has chosen to spend their hard-earned money in your establishment deserves acknowledgment. Five seconds--that's your window to make someone feel seen, not ignored. Tables need to be clear and cleaned. Your back should never, ever turn toward the dining room. Not when you're on the clock, not when you're "just hanging out" after your shift like some restaurant theater ghost. If you're visible to guests, you're working. Period. And for God's sake, if you're buried in the kitchen and there's no one manning the front lines, call out to those waiting souls that someone--anyone--will be with them shortly. Silence is the enemy of service, the death knell of hospitality. This isn't rocket science. It's respect. It's craft. It's the difference between a restaurant and a place where food happens to be served by people who'd rather be anywhere else. For the response below for Ellie. You want a copy of my review? It's right here. Email it to yourself. You've got fingers, you've got the internet, and you clearly know how to copy and paste corporate responses. I'm not doing your homework for you. The information you claim to need is sitting right here in public view, where it belongs. If you actually cared about addressing the issues instead of just appearing to care, you'd already be working on fixing your front-of-house disaster instead of asking customers to do your administrative work. read more

Not worth the hype. The service was very very slow and everything was very mediocre. We tried the seasonal shakes and the flavor was lacking. The seating situation is crazy. It's like you have to steal the table before the next person leaves otherwise you can't sit. read more

I love Shake Shack, and every time I travel up and down the east coast this was always a stop, so the fact that I got one 20 minutes away is amazing. The burgers are always fresh, I love the crinkle fries, and the black and white milkshakes are the BEST. My parents also love the chicken sandwiches. This location did just open, so of course it's going to be slammed, and the wait is going to be long. My opinion is to order ahead and pick it up to go. When I picked up last, there were about 15 people waiting for orders. If you do happen to come on a time when it's slow, it's nice to sit inside and relax. read more

shake shack is always a reliable place for a good Smashburger. Their buns are absolutely cloud soft and the beef is great quality not to mention the best crinkle cut fries around tonight on november 6th at 10:47 PM. I was met with great service by whoever the manager was Uber refused to provide me with a solution to my issue yet somehow he made it happen. This is great customer service and is absolutely appreciated. I truly commend this person for being a rare breed he deserves a raise! but about the food, you really can't go wrong with the Shake shack burger anywhere in the United States in my opinion read more

the burgers were just ok. the shakes were just ok. Danny Meyer would be extremely embarrassed. ill give 2 stars because it was still edible. the burger patty was falling apart though. very flimsy read more

very slow service burger was dry and over cooked fries were cold no where to sit and no one wiping and cleaning tables didn't expect fast food but 20 minutes for a burger and fries is slow food will not return money spent elsewhere is better spent only good item was the shake overpriced for the size but good tasting over all priced for product received better value at 5 guys read more

My niece and I go on random lunch dates and today we chose Shake Shack. This was my first time trying it in Buffalo, NY, I had it in an airport before and was pleased with the food and this was my nieces first time trying it. We split the sandwiches and fries just to sample some different things. The Shackburger is really good, the meat tastes good, the vegetables are fresh and the look of the meat is more like home vs fast food restaurants. The Chicken Shack sandwich was just okay, the pickle gives the most flavor from all the ingredients. The herb mayo was bland and the chicken was fried perfectly but it didn't have any flavor or seasoning, the fries were just crinkle cut fries, nothing to really discuss about them. We both enjoyed our shakes, they were thick and the flavors were good. My niece rated it an 8.5/10 and I rated it a 8. If we were to go back we would only get beef items and shakes. I would go again but it wouldn't be something that I would go out of my way to get. read more

Waited for 30 minutes to try my first shack stack only to find it was just shack and no stack. Disappointed as it seems like a tough part of the sandwich to miss. You get about 20 fries for $4.49 and 7 fried pickles for $4.99 as well. The food was alright, but Five Guys is right next door, and while that is also not cheap, I recommend sticking to them for burgers and fries. read more

The food is awesome and now that it's been open for a few weeks the business has subsided and it's fairly reasonable to get in! The staff is super friendly and Joe the manager of the location came to our table and talked with us to make sure not only was the food good but that we were enjoying everything about them! He talked with me about the new Dubai shake and he just had such a genuine personable attitude about him! read more

Love the chicken sandwich, son loves the burgers. Fries are crinkle cut, I think they could be crispier. Word of advice- get the app so you can pick up your order and not have to wait. Also there are great deals on the app which change periodically. Exited they will be opening a location closer to me on Transit. read more

Tons of employees, but you have to use a kiosk to place your own order. Despite all the employees, plan on it taking FOREVER to get your food. We were there at 8:30pm and it was not crowded.
